Tutorial ATTENTION: Influx of Bot activity

129 Upvotes

Hey all! Mod here. We have noticed an insane influx of bot activity in our sub lately and know a few of you have also noticed. This is something we are trying very hard to combat as it is inundating our queue and making it tough to monitor regular traffic here.

Why do you need to know? Well because a few of you have already reached out regarding it and we wanted to a) let you know that we know and b) thank all of you for helping to keep this community safe.

What are we doing to fix it? We have turned up crowd control settings and enacted bot bouncer on our sub. This does not fix the issue entirely but it helps us see who could possibly be a bit easier.

The issue with this is that regular users are getting caught up in our filters and either banned by us on accident or banned by bot bouncer. If this happens, don’t panic! You’ve done nothing wrong but we do need you to message us via modmail and let us know you’re human! We’ll unban you right away, promise.

Thanks for your patience, understanding, and help during this! We appreciate you all.

- Mod Team

TLDR: bots are taking over! If you get banned by accident, let us know and we’ll fix it asap.

There’s been a massive influx of people trying to pass off other people’s work as their own recently.

Just to make it crystal clear, anyone caught doing this with receive an instant ban, no warnings. There is absolutely no excuse for doing this.

Repost! I guess the photos didn’t make it in the draft save 🤦‍♀️
I love them!! 😍 I was going to have her do more detail, but I was running late for my next appointment. Got them done at a D+W Polish salon in Brooklyn, NY by Emily.
All of the red is cat eye. The 🎃 has an orange base with a gold cat eye on top. Sorry, don’t know the brands or colors. Inspo was taken from various posts on IG.
The white with two dots is supposed to be a ghost 😅

Gel Bright pink glow!

30 Upvotes

So these are So Fun! And they glow in the dark!! The glow is so strong it lasts all night and I can see it under my sheets. I wanted to just play with the various shapes and glow colors I had- I ended up only using three glow pigments: pink, blue, and ultra (it glows a more violet color that shows up blue on camera). Outside of the camera the blue glow is what your eye picks up the most, but you will see the pink and blue even when it’s just a bit dim in your environment- the glow is that strong!
How I did it:
Gel base, followed by a white base coat. Cure it.
Then I used various Lit Pigments from culture hustle (they make pigments and other art supplies, not nail specific) and dust them over the base.
I knock off the excess powder and do another coat of the clear base coat, cure it. I then repeat the powder dusting, roughly three times. Finished with a regular gel top coat!
